I went through the Apple store. Had pre updated for my phone and my wife’s phone. Got mine silver 256 for 11/3 but hers doesn’t come grey 256 until 11/17-11/24.

Took like 30 min to get the confirmation email and for it to appear in my order history. So dont sweat the email just yet.
How my dog get in your avi? Have same exact dog with same haircut.
 
Att 256 space grey via Apple app Nov 3rd.

Same via IUP. Got my confirmation email about an hour later. November 3.

I’m pleased with the IUP this year. Combined with their pre-approval system it worked like a charm. I was into the Apple Store app by around 12:05 and placed my order in a matter of seconds. No server lag. No errors. Nothing but a click and then a confirmation screen.

I’m on AT&T, but I preordered the T-Mobile variant (Space Grey, 256GB) in order to avoid the carrier check in hopes of shaving off a few seconds off the process. Much like everyone else, I was refreshing the app frantically and the shipping timeframe was already at 1-2 weeks (11/10-11/17 delivery) as soon as the app opened. My confirmation e-mail came in literally seconds after I completed the preorder, time stamped 3:05 EST.
 
Hmmm.....I'm probably in the same situation as you then. I bet those dates are just a default place holder on the T-Mobile site.

We'll see.


Oh you ordered on TMob site? Ya, it seems like everyone there ordering within the first 20 mins or so was getting the 11/2-11/3 date.

I don’t know why you have a reservation number for delivery. o_O But it took me almost an hour to get the email for nov 3 so you know :apple: is swamped I think last year it took awhile for my email also
Could it be because Sprint is still down? Am I good to pass out now?
 
12:16am
256 SG
11/17-11/24 delivery...

I had a combination of both Late Safari and Store App. I think this is an Akamai problem. They roll the store opening, so some of us get screwed. On top of that I had Apple Pay issues. Even though my delivery and billing info was correct, for some reason Apple Pay locked on to my work address for both, via Safari... Apple Pay would fail. It took me extra time to just give up and finish on the Store App, with Apple Pay, which was correct. It would have been faster to just enter the info by hand, after that mess.
 
couldn’t use my iPad Pro to get on the Apple store or the web store both did not open it kept showing closed actually picked up my android phone and was able to get on at 12 minutes after between 2 to 3 week wait unless for some reason it ships sooner

Must be the "luck of the draw". I was not able to get on my iPhone or iPad Pro since 3 am EST. The Apple Store went live on my iMac first (around 3:04 am EST) so I placed my order there. I got an 11/3 delivery date on the Space Gray 256.
 
I dont get how many people got a nov 3rd delivery....apple app and website didn't come live till 3:08 for me and shipping dates already moved 2-3 weeks...

I tried on my iPhone, iPad Pro and iMac. The Apple Store went live on my iMac first (about 3:04) so I pre ordered there. This is the first time I can remember ever getting a launch date iPhone (have had iPhones since the very first one with, purchasing a new one every 2 years). Don't think there is any rhyme or reason for getting in.
 
I got an 11/3 delivery date. Ordered through Verizon’s website. I had a lot of issues getting on. Slow load times etc. honestly a bit shocked I was able to lock in an 11/3 delivery date considering.
 
I tried to get a silver 256 GB on Verizon, but the app was giving me fits. It actually said they had a reservation held for me and to follow instructions in the email they sent me (I didn't get an email). Then I switched to the web on my MacBook and was able to get a 256 GB on Verizon for in-store pickup on November 3. I got an email confirmation, but when I go to my account section in my Apple Store app, my order isn't showing up there. Anyone else not seeing their order in their account page?

I had similar symptoms ordering a 256 space grey through the upgrade program via the app . I got everything pre-approved as part of the upgrade program at Apple's invitation earlier in the week. The Web site did not come up until 3:10 and when I tried to place the order over the web it told me to use the app instead. The app had to be force restarted to start showing anything other than the "we can't wait to show you" screen. When the app finally became active I got several errors during the order process and had to hit the back button a few times and redo steps before I received a notice in the app that the order had completed.
But I received no confirmation email and no orders are showing under my account. Chat support from Apple was not helpful as she had no ability to help other than offering 3 free song credits.
I can't restart the order process because after I go through the eligibility check I get a message that I have an order that is pending. I don't know that pending means. I was in that status after getting pre-approved earlier in the week. Store support does not open for another couple of hours - inexcusable on a day like today.
 
App's weren't getting in on iPhone or iPad, but did on the web on the Mac. Then it forced me to re-enter my address. Then Apple Pay screwed up (at least twice)!!!

Looked at the clock - it was 3:06am when it went in, got the confirmation e-mail at 3:08am. Nov 20-27 delivery. :(

64GB Space Grey.

Yep, a little grumpy at the moment. Don't get how the app wasn't getting in (one on cellular, one on wifi over home internet). Messed up.
 
11/17-11/24. Freaking a, I had to change the payment method to my discover card to pay the tax. Those extra few minutes cost me. The worst part—just got the order confirmation from Apple, they still used the original card on file!!! I need them to use my discover card but am afraid that editing my payment method would push back my delivery.

Said I had an 11/3 ship date, checked out and it changed to 11/17-11/24. Not cool.
Did the same to me

For all you guys that pre-ordered the new phone congrats. For everyone who pre-ordered, how many times are you gonna check fedex or ups website and see if it’s left China yet once you get your tracking number. I’m willing to bet you’ll check it more than 10 times a day
Lol
